Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I had gone through your question.
This could be upper respiratory infection.
Nothing to worry, you will be fine.
I recommend the following
1) A course of antibiotics.
2) analgesics like tab paracetamol for pain and fever when ever present.
3) Expectorant syrup.
4) Salt water gargling. Add a pinch of salt to a glass of warm water.
5) Antihistamine for runny nose.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, I am happy to help you.

Wish you a good health and speedy recovery

Regards,
Dr Paparaja S MBBS MS
